they include north carolina, senator thom tillis. >> wait. so the state of north carolina, their military bases, are going to be gutted? >> that's how the president pays you back for your good faith in him. >> $80 million for military construction projects and readiness projects that will not only bring jobs and keep jobs in the state of north carolina, but will make this country stronger and donald trump is gutting $80 million from thom tillis. martha mcsally in arizona couldn't stop donald trump from gutting $30 million from arizona military bases. >> but she is so loyal. oh, this is rich. >> moscow mitch, $62 million. that's actually -- we don't know how many rubles that is, but it is a ruble equivalent of $62 million. cory gardner, state of colorado, $8 million stolen from his military projects. >> look whos next. >> lindsey graham $11 million stolen from south carolina and john cornyn $38 million stolen from the state of texas for john cornyn. >> that's your loyalty pledge. >> who is up in an election in 2020 that should be a safe race b

but then the president tweeted, at the request of senator thom tillis, i'm getting the north carolina declaration signed tonight. hope you won't need. here's the thing, only governors of states can request a declaration of disaster. the governor is a democrat roy cooper, not republican senator thom tillis. >>> law enforcement officials telling nbc news that the gunman who killed seven people and injured nearly two dozen on saturday purchased his weapon from a private seller. a transaction that does not require a background check. officials said the gunman had previously failed a background check back in 2014 because of a disqualifying mental health issue. and investigators are now looking into who sold him that firearm. the seller could face criminal charges if they were aware of the shooter's mental health issues. meanwhile, senate minority leader chuck schumer released a statement blaming the shooting on the republicans in the senate for stalling a bill that would require a background check for all sales. if the house-passed background checks little would have been signed into law,

joining me exclusively straight ahead right here on "sunday morning futures", senator thom tillis ahead of the armed services committee and how homeland security member committee member congressman john ratcliffe and president trump canceled what was supposed to be a secret meeting at camp david so work on a peace deal today with the taliban and leaders what should we expect next when it comes to america's longest war. democrats on the house judiciary committee planning to vote this upcoming week, on the language defining their impeachment inquiry of the president. we'll hear from the ranking republican on that committee doug collins this morning plus congressman matt cartwright co- chairman of the communications committee with us today plus u.s. china talks back on for next month, what are the conditions the president is looking for, to seal a deal between the two nations we'll talk with peter navarro one of the president's trade advisors plus just developing right now, one former republican lawmaker and governor announces plans to challenge president trump, in the gop primary all that

so people in thom tillis' state are paying for that wall. and david ignatius, it's, again, you go through any of these articles in foreign affairs about the autocrats that are rising. and donald trump for his sake is unfortunately, you know, he picked the strongest democracy, the strongest constitutional republic, but you look. i think judge napolitano had a great point that we have article 1 of the constitution. we have separations of power. donald trump didn't get the money from the republican house, the republican senate. they didn't give it to him for two years. speaker ryan, majority leader mcconnell didn't give him the money and he can't get it now so he's actually seized the money from military projects and it's every bit as jarring by ordering all businesses out of china or donald trump questioning the legitimacy of federal judges to actually limit him. questioning the legitimacy of the media to actually hold him to account for his lies. he's even doing it -- i mean, the biggest tirades have been against fox news over the last month

senator thom tillis thank you in charlotte, north carolina. back to julie in new york. >> julie: a new look at the devastating damage in the bahamas after dorian hit the islands has a category 5 hurricane sunday. how one man is helping communities rebuild. plus a fox news alert. authorities say they have recovered the bodies of 33 people who died in that southern california boat fire. there is still one person missing. ahead we'll hear from a former police detective and diver who has been on boats like the one that caught fire and sank. an i.g. report revealing new evidence on what the f.b.i. did to monitor the trump campaign even after the 2016 election. what are we learning now about former director james comey's actions? ari fleischer weighs in next. >> he always pretends he doesn't know what happened with the fisa situation or with the intelligence. the i.g. report really makes clear that's not the case when you read through 80 pages. ou to get your windshield fixed. >> teacher: let's turn in your science papers. >> tech vo: this teacher a

tillis in north carolina. they are going to make their re-election bids much harder with a number of ad campaigns or very much organizing in that state. so i think mitch mcconnell is very cognizant of that. he's almost between a rock and hard place. >> what's the feeling here in washington, julia? do they feel like something is going to get done. >> as pete buttigieg is saying it's kind of like a turning point. >> or do they say it's going to peter out with a new cycle, unless of course there is tragically yet another shooting in this country? >> i think everyone's holding their breath on this issue. it does seem that we are moving forward. we saw that almost happen with the parkland shootings and the issues of bump stocks and we remember when president trump invited the parents of victims of mass shootings to the white house, and you know, from a number mass shootings, and it seemed like there was movement on that issue. we saw that fall apart. so you know, it seems like we're inching forward, but history tel

tillis. independent and swing voters will put a lot of pressure on these members. and donald trump puts these republican members in an impossible position. you know, he demands loyalty, the base demands loyalty. but they need swing and independent voters to win. >> and so we've heard from senator mitt romney calling it deeply troubling, senator ben sasse says republicans shouldn't be circling the wag cons when there is a lot there that is troubling. and so s.e., are you seeing signs of cracks within the gop? >> some. look, congressman amodei is right to not support impeachment yet. no one should support impeachment yet. but supporting the inquiry is the least we should expect and it should not be a partisan or spectacular show of courage to admit the obvious which is that this is deeply troubling. i think any lawmaker who takes an hoet to suppooath should be this is troubling and we should follow the facts. >> and so fear of retribution is holding them back? >> yes, there is being at the rece

senator thom tillis who has called for an investigation, i think he's absolutely correct. when you make a serious allegation like this against a proposed supreme court nominee, you must tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. the attorney is suggesting she did not do that. >> sean: that may change gears. sarah, let me ask you, we have jay sekulow breaking news last night, the acl jay, the fbi, did comey have spies in the trump white house from day one. he said he didn't spy but we know he's a liar because he signed three fisa warrant, verified, told the president the opposite. are you confident inspector general horowitz's report and the other report which we expect will expose the outsourcing of intelligence gathering to circumvent american laws, are you confident that there will be the appropriate, well, indictments in these cases because i know if i did, i'd be in trouble. >> i think if there isn't and i've said this before, then what's going happen is that our justice department is going to fail the american people. we can have a two-tiered justice system. we -

tillis down there in north carolina, mark mcsally in arizona, to perhaps vote against president trump. so you've got the republicans then on the defense. i think that's the game plan. whether that's the right strategy or not, pushing it that far, is another question. paul: so get the left off the backs of her members from primary challenges, throw this into the senate, hope that some of the senate republicans break, a mitt romney, say, of utah, doesn't like the president, turns, votes for conviction, and then maybe you divide the republicans in the senate? >> that could be part of it. i'm sure that is part of it. but i would also argue that nancy pelosi and maybe is just listening to her caucus here. several months ago there weren't as many many democrats calling for impeachment. now they are. those numbers have ticked up. public poll has also shown an increase in support in the general public. paul: it's still not over 50%. >> it's not over 50 but it's measurably gotten higher, that support. and we've seen that even in the past week. paul: it's riskier now to not go ahead with impeac

someone who participated in those emotional hearings, republican senator thom tillis is with me now. serves on the judiciary committee. what do you think when you hear about? >> well, harris, to be honest with you, over the last week all i really thought about is the hurricane that's now approaching our coast. i did have a front row seat to that hearing and i will tell you the only asterisk next to brett kavanaugh's name is going to be one of justices of our time. >> harris: and you think that asterisk exists even though motivation may have been political. does that change, maybe, the way the story came together? doesn't change a look at blasey ford? >> harris, the entire time that i sat on the judiciary committee through those hearings, there was no doubts that there were a number of people who are politically motivated to tear apart, i think, a stellar reputation on the part of brett kavanaugh. he is doing a great job as justice and i have full confidence in them. i believe the american people should know this is a great man. he's been a great judge for many years. he's going to be

thom tillis, who sits on the judiciary committee, had this to say. >> the american people are tired of it. you even have house democrats wondering whether or not they should go anywhere with this new story. the facts do not substantiate the allegations and they need to move on. >> reporter: as for the times' glaring correction, in add a mitting the alleged victim doesn't remember the incident, the president wants action. >> i call for the resignation of everybody at the new york times involved in the kavanaugh issue. the times is dead, long live the new york times. >> reporter: the president is not off the hook. chairman nadler is holding an impeachment inquiry today, the focus, presidential obstruction of justice and abuse of power. guys. lauren: griff, thank you. president trump is back on the attack against fed chair jay powell and the federal reserve ahead of today's two-day meeting. the president tweeting this, will the fed ever get into the game, dollar strongest ever, really bad for exports, adding that jay powell and the fed don't have a clue and on top of it all, the oil hit.

so senator thom tillis, who has called for an investigation, i think he's absolutely correct. when you make a serious allegation like this against a proposed supreme court nominee, you must tell the whole truthed and nothing but the truth. the attorney is suggesting she did not do that. >> sean: let me change gears. sara, let me ask you, we now have jay sekulow breaking news last night, the aclj, the fbi, did comey have spies in the trump white house from day one. he said he didn't spy but we do know he's a liar because he signed three fisa warrants verified, told the president the opposite.when he went to trump , said salacious but unverified. are you confident inspector general horowitz's report and the other report which we expect will expose the outsourcing of intelligence gathering to circumvent american laws, are you confident that there will be the appropriate, well, indictments in these cases? because i know if i did, i'd be in trouble. >> absolutely. i think if there isn't and i've said this before, then what's going happen is that our justice department is going to f

the people who i would hold accountable are people like thom tillis, lindsey graham, ben sass. all of these republicans, susan collins, cory gardner, republicans who are up in 2020 need to answer for this president's behavior because they are consenting to that behavior but not standing up and being outspoken, at least like mitt romney is showing himself to be willing to do. these republicans, democrats, what they can do is they cannot impact trump's behavior, they can penalize the people around trump, which can force the president's political allies to actually take some measure of accountability for his actions. >> joel payne, thank you. susan del percio, thank you. karen, always good to have you. >>> bracing for a diplomatic explosion. that's how politico describes the climate surrounding president trump's visit to the united nations as the ukraine scandal looms over his visit. he faces another issue, those escalating tensions with iran. again, this was a look at the president a few moments ago at the climate change summit. meanwhile a new poll adding more drama to the top o

the same is true of thom tillis. the same is true of cory gardner. so the political incentive now for republicans to flee is beginning to equalize their aversion to fleeing before. so i wouldn't be surprised if you start seeing more and more little cracks. we saw a little tiny crack with mitt romney but -- >> little tiny. there was a lot of qualification there. there was a lot of if-ing, if it happened. lisa murkowski, if it happened, if it's true. >> but let him put out the transcript. but more importantly, let them put out the whistleblower complaint because that has more information arguably than just this one phone conversation. it apparently describes a whole pattern of behavior. >> rick wilson, i called you a republican strategist. are you still a republican strategist? >> not anymore. there's no republican party left. it's donald trump's party. and it's a party today that has a bunch of people who used to be republicans who are now having a competition to see which one can lick donald's boots and give him the highest shine every day. but i thi

maria: we have a great show, we'll talk with senator thom tillis republican from north carolina he's going to be with the president tomorrow so we'll talk about that and how north korea fared after of course dorian hit the bahamas hard, john ratcliffe is here from texas, homeland security committee as well as judiciary we know he was passed over for the dni position we'll find out what went on there and by the way he's also got to talk about this big decision the doj is making and that is whether or not to indict andrew mccabe it's a big decision plus representative doug collins ranking member of the house judiciary committee and matt cartwright, democrat from pennsylvania we'll talk about the democrats incredible continued push to impeach president trump. so we'll talk about that, and you know doug collins says look, when is the judiciary committee going to stop acting like an arm of the dna c and then peter navarro, trade and manufacturing obviously post those job numbers on friday and now we know that the u.s. will in fact meet with the chinese officials in early october so we'll

it will put people like cory and martha and thom tillis and really unusual positions, leading into a tough 2020 reelect. i'm not so sure that is not the objective. i don't think he is going to be convicted based on these facts. so it can't be because you really he is going to be removed from office. what is the secondary explanation. it placates the base, fires up the base, it puts the senate in play. if a democrat does win in 2020, of course they're going to snead the senate. if you have a republican senate, he or she will accomplish nothing. that is the politics of it to me. i'm a much better lawyer than i was a politician. i like the legal part of impeachment better than i dot political part of it. neil: you were good at both. let me ask you though, congressman, i use market as as proxy on the markets but the markets can be wrong and thinking this will go nowhere the president survives it, if anything it hurts joe biden and they think will help elizabeth warren who some seem to view far more beatable than a joe biden. that is the rough translation, i think i got the gist of it. wh

brian: i love what senator thom tillis is doing pass a law allow illegal immigrants to sue cities and counties for damages. that seems very logical: 8th arrest of illegal immigrants in the past seven weeks. what are you guys doing? this is really your fault. >> yeah. absolutely it's their fault. look, montgomery county for your viewers is literally on the door stretch the nation's capital. it has over a million people in it. and barely more than a month ago they proudly proclaim themselves like their neighbors in pg county sanctuary counties. and they reject that title but that's what they are doing. they won't hand over criminals, demonstrated criminals. child rapists, literally in the last month rape and sexual assault have been frequent among these particular criminals. brian: right. >> that they haven't been turning over to ice. this makes communities less safe. i challenged their chairman to a debate. he wouldn't accept. he knows he would lose. brian: he would lose because the facts are not on his side. ken cuccinelli hopefully the president will make you full time instead of jus

part of the opinion piece from the washington post and the thom tillis editorial cartoon, a listing of those killed in mass shooting's going back to april 20, 1999 in columbine as we go to steve. he is a gun owner in oak ridge, tennessee. go ahead. caller: good morning. i'm 70 years old and i have had guns since i was 18 years old i have a couple pistols and several shotguns and rifles. i think if the media would start showing pictures of a 17 month old little girl shot in the face with a .223 round or the carnage after a shooting, it might help change some people's minds. thanks very much. sharon in minnesota. caller: you were close. it's bemidji, minnesota. that's exactly why we are calling in today because of that 17 month old. we did all see her and that's why we are having this discussion today. my comment is we often talk about the age limit and i would like to say that it's been proven that a female brain does not develop until she's 23 or 24. the male brain does not fully develop until he's 25. 25 to 27. yet we still give an 18-year-old underdeveloped brain a gun. so let's be s
